* Anything marked with an asterisk (*) denotes the same model but different values. You can then use this in an Apply Driver Package Task Sequence step to only present the the relevant device drivers to Windows setup at the time a machine is built. In the future I also plan to run the same script as a computer login script. Aliases take simple commands that you enter at the command line, then act upon the WMI namespace in a predefined way, such as constructing a complex. WMIC is more intuitive than WMI, in large part because of aliases. Check if machine is a laptop or desktop (is it possible) Machine model number. Before WMIC, you used WMI-based applications, the WMI Scripting API, or tools such as CIM Studio to manage WMI-enabled computers. This page (sorted by Vendor and Model number) shows the results of running the WMIC CSProduct Get Name command from a Command Prompt to retrieve the model name from WMI. The script should be able to query the below and output to a file.
